India’s young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history by debuting in the second T20 match against England in Belfast on Saturday. At the age of just 15 years and 99 days, he made the record of becoming the youngest main player to play international cricket for India. However, he could not make the record of becoming the youngest player in the world to play international cricket. Because before this a cricketer from Pakistan had held this record in his name.

This record is still recorded in the name of Hasan Raza of Pakistan. He made his debut at the youngest age for a full member country by playing a Test match against Zimbabwe in October 1996. At the same time, if we take all the countries together, Marian Gherasim of Romania is the youngest player to play men’s international cricket. He played his first international match at the age of only 14 years and 16 days. Even today, he is the youngest player to debut in international cricket.

Hasan Raza’s career could not live up to expectations

Hasan Raza is counted among the most successful batsmen of Pakistan’s domestic cricket. He scored 13,949 runs in first-class cricket and also scored 36 centuries. But could not repeat the success of domestic cricket at the international level. He played only 7 Test and 16 ODI matches between 1996 and 2005. Due to poor performance he was dropped from the team. Later in 2007, he played the Indian Cricket League (ICL), due to which his hopes of comeback also ended. In a sting operation in 2018, his name was also linked to the alleged pitch-fixing case, although he denied any involvement in any wrongdoing.

Sajjida Shah made her debut at the age of 12

Sajjida Shah, who made her debut in women’s cricket at the age of 12, played two Tests, 60 ODIs and 8 T20 international matches for Pakistan. In the year 2003, he gave only 4 runs for 7 wickets in the ODI match against Japan. This performance is still considered the best bowling record in the history of women’s ODI cricket. Despite a brilliant start, his international career did not last long. He played his last match for Pakistan in 2010 at the age of only 22. After this she has completely retired from professional cricket.
